POOR OLD OHIO.

The State Of Ohio is to be COmmiser-
sted. The annual wreck Of reason and
crash of words, characteristics Of her
elections, have begun ere the first frost
has scared her pumpkin vines or
withered the martial rows OF her r1pen'
Ing corn.
Mr.. Powell, the Democratic candidate
for Governor, Openel the battle on
Wednesday by charging upon Gov. For
SKIER with all the forces at his command.
The fiery aud fugRciOus Governor will
of course return the onset, pointing his
index finger with pride to his own and
his psrty's achievements, and jerking
his thumb with scOFn at the Democrats
and all their works. Business will be
suspended while the bloody shirt Will
shake Its mildsWed wrinkles In the east
wind of FOrskeT's elOquence. The ex-
plOslVe Governor will paw the earth,
saw the air and call for palsy for all
who train under the standard Of the
fllmbOyant Powell. The captured rebel
flags will be held 8loft In gTave-prO
tecting steel case, while thu third savior
Of his country mDdestly muTmeIs, "
cannot tell q lie-I saved them with my
little buncOmbe." Other professional
cO0ntry-saVers will open their mouths
and hurtle pslsies through the air.
And for two mortal months this political
pandemOnium must en0ure before the
people can elect Governor who has no
governing to do.
Poor, old Ohio! But perhaps she likts
that sort of thing,-LN. Y. World.

WITHIN very short period the cable
has brought the news several times
that Emperor William had tripped and
fallen while walking about. II is not
often these circumstances are correctly
reported, and there Is we'll grounded
suspicion these alleged accidents were
really attacks of apOpiexy, forsshadow-
log the end of a remarkable life. The
fatal" illness of the Kaiser has so lOp g
been one of stock items OF European
news that any sllusiOn to it Is sugges-
tive of rodents, but the cautious char
actsr Of the reports from Berlin at
present indicate that there Is an snx-
iety that even praC.icsd diplomacy can
not conceal.

the Wheeling scsnes will be re.enacted

that the wiser and cooler heads In the

The Wilmingtonian., 1887-12-17
A Colorado Colony.

1t is proposed to organize a colony of So
ber and industrious young men and men
with families, to settle upon some fertile
lands in southern Colorado, for the purpose
of building town, planting vineyards and
orchards and establishing a contented and
prosperous community.
All who desire to join with this object in
view are invited to send their names and
residence t. either of the undersigned,
stating number in family, amount of means,
profession, or trade; to the end that we may
enlist all the elements necessary for the sue
cess of the enterprise.
The lands we propose to settle upon are
fertile in the extreme, with climate suited
to the growth of all kinds of vegetables and
cereals, also all small and standard fruits,
including the nectarine, apricot and peach.
There will be an abundance of water for ir-
rigaton, thus insuring successful soil cul-
ture.
A town " Il be laid out with lots for bus
iness and residence purposes, these last in
creasing in size as they recede from the bus
mess center, upon the plan adopted by the
Greedy Colony. Wide streets will be made
special feature of the town and suitable
reservations will be made for churches,
schools public buildings and parks.
No saloons will be allowed within the
town limits or on the adjoining lands.
Temperance is the basis of contentment,
happiness, prosperity, the sure safeguard of
virtue and the shield of the weak. A strict
prehibitory clause will be inserted in the
deeds to lots and lands in order to secure
these desired ends.
Those with some means are enlisted in
this work, as the first year of colony life is
of necessity one in which the work of estab-
fishing the home and preparing garden, or
chard and farm lands must be done and but
little in the way of crops, save for home sub
sstence, can be counted upon.
A membership of five dollars is required,
which is to be used for the incidental ex-
penses OF organization, location of lands
etc., which will be fully accounted for to
the colony officers. As soon as a sufficient
number of members is secured, active steps
will be taken to complete the organization
1t may not be out of place to state here
that the Colorado gentleman whose name is
appended to this call and who has agreed to
join this enterprise, was connected with the
settlement of the now prosperous towns Of
Greeley, Fort Collins and Colorado Springs,
and has had an experience of seventeen
years in the building of towns, irrigating
anals aud the development of agriculture
and fruit growing in Colorado.
1t is desirable that settlement in the new
town be made as early as possible. Write
US at once of your intention concerning this
promising enterprise.
